< Genesis 8 >

1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
Ary Andriamanitra nahatsiaro an’ i Noa mbamin’ ny bibi-dia rehetra ary ny biby fiompy rehetra, izay niara-nitoetra taminy tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara; ary Andriamanitra nampandeha rivotra eran’ ny tany, ka dia nihena ny rano.
2 the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
Ary tampina ny loharanon’ ny lalina sy ny varavaran’ ny lanitra, ka nitsahatra ilay ranonorana nivatravatra avy tany an-danitra.
3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually; and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
Ary nihena niandalana niala tamin’ ny tany ny rano; ary rehefa afaka dimam-polo amby zato andro, dia efa nihena ny rano.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Dia nipetraka teo amin’ ny tendrombohitra any Ararata ny sambo-fiara tamin’ ny andro fahafito ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana fahafito.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
Ary ny rano dia mbola nihena niandalana hatramin’ ny volana fahafolo; tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahafolo dia niseho ny tampon’ ny tendrombohitra.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
Ary rehefa afaka efa-polo andro, dia novohan’ i Noa ny varavarankelin’ ny sambo-fiara izay efa nataony.
7 And he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Dia namoaka goaika anankiray izy, ary niverimberina mandra-paharitry ny rano tamin’ ny tany iny.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.
Dia namoaka voromailala anankiray izay teo aminy izy, hizahany na efa kely ny rano tambonin’ ny tany, na tsia.
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.
Fa tsy hitan’ ilay voromailala izay hipetrahan’ ny faladiany, dia niverina tamin’ i Noa tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara izy, satria mbola nisy rano tambonin’ ny tany rehetra; ary Noa naninjitra ny tànany ka nandray sy nampiditra azy ho ao aminy tao anatin’ ny sambo-fiara.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
Ary mbola niandry hafitoana koa izy; dia namoaka ilay voromailala tamin’ ny sambo-fiara indray izy.
11 And the dove came in to him at eventide; and lo in her mouth an olive-leaf freshly plucked; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
Dia niditra teo aminy ilay voromailala nony hariva ny andro; ary, indro, nisy ravin’ oliva maitso teo am-bavany; izany no nahafantaran’ i Noa fa efa kely ny rano tambonin’ ny tany.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
Ary mbola niandry hafitoana indray izy, dia namoaka ilay voromailala; ary tsy niverina teo aminy intsony iny.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dried.
Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana voalohany tamin’ ny taona fahiraika amby enin-jato, dia ritra ny rano teo ambonin’ ny tany; ary nanaisotra ny tafon’ ny sambo-fiara Noa ka nijery, ary, indro, efa maina ny tany.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana faharoa, dia maina ny tany.
15 And God spoke unto Noah, saying:
Ary Andriamanitra dia niteny tamin’ i Noa ka nanao hoe:
16 'Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Mivoaha amin’ ny sambo-fiara ianao sy ny vadinao aman-janakao ary ny vinantonao vavy miaraka aminao.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both fowl, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may swarm in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.'
Ary ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra, izay eo aminao, avy tamin’ ny nofo rehetra, dia ny vorona sy ny biby fiompy sy ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany, dia ento mivoaka miaraka aminao; ary aoka hiteraka be eny ambonin’ ny tany sy ho maro anaka ary hihabetsaka eny ambonin’ ny tany ireny.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;
Dia nivoaka Noa mbamin’ ny vadiny aman-janany ary ny vinantonivavy niaraka taminy;
19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families; went forth out of the ark.
Ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra sy ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka ary ny vorona rehetra mbamin’ izay rehetra mihetsiketsika eny ambonin’ ny tany dia samy nivoaka avy tao amin’ ny sambo-fiara araka ny karazany.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
Ary Noa dia nanorina alitara ho an’ i Jehovah; ary ny biby madio rehetra sy ny vorona madio rehetra dia nanalany ka nataony fanatitra odorana teo ambonin’ ny alitara.
21 And the LORD smelled the sweet savour; and the LORD said in His heart: 'I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
Dia nandre ny hanitra ankasitrahana Jehovah, ka hoy Izy tam-pony: Tsy mba hanozona ny tany intsony noho ny amin’ ny olona Aho; fa ny fisainan’ ny fon’ ny olona dia ratsy hatramin’ ny fahazazany; ary tsy mba handringana ny velona rehetra intsony Aho tahaka izay nataoko.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.'
Raha mbola maharitra koa ny tany, dia tsy hanam-pitsaharana ny taom-pamafazana sy ny taom-pijinjana, ary ny hatsiaka sy ny hafanana ary ny fahavaratra sy ny ririnina, ary ny andro sy ny alina.
